Three problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 2003 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 2003 BMW X5 4. 4. Which seems to vibrate/jerk between 20 and 30 mph. The first time (2009) I went to the dealer they told me I needed to replace my tire which I did. This did not help. I went back to the dealer again and now they tell me I need to replace the transmission. After researching this issue online, I am learning many other BMW owners have this same problem. I am curious to know if this is a defect.
80k on my BMW X5 and the transmission needs replaced.
While driving 70 mph vehicle stalled. Driver was able to pull over. Vehicle taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that transmission needed to be replaced.
